![]() "Age of Empires 4 is a base-building, sword-clashing, village-pillaging RTS of the classic style, inside and out," wrote Leana Hafer in her 8/10 review for IGN. For comparison, 2005's Age of Empires 3 has a score of 81, while 1997's much-revered Age of Empires 2 has a score of 91. The critical reception has been positive so far the game currently has a score 82 on Metacritic for PC as of writing. I certainly got my money's worth out of it.Īs I said you can have fun with the campaigns, but it's all about the multiplayer for me.Today sees the release of Age of Empires 4, an anticipated return to Microsoft's classic real-time strategy franchise, and the first entry into the series for over 15 years.Īge of Empires 4, developed by Relic Entertainment and published by Xbox Game studios, follows the traditional RTS formula players move through several historical campaigns and engage in turn-based combat with rival forces, collect resources and brawl with leaders in order to build their empire. it did have bad balance issues at the start but looking at it objectively I would say it was a pretty good game. It's one of the best for all games IMO.ĭo you think at least the single player campaign in aoe4 is worth it? DoW3 got a lot of flack because it wasn't dow2 remake. That said the sound design, music, and languages your units speak are dynamic changing as you age. If you're only going to play for the singleplayer sure you'll have a good time for a little while, but this game is about the multiplayer for me and the competitive scene imo. BTW were getting two more very unique among the unique civs in a couple months for free.ĭoes it even have a good story/voice acting at the very least? Since game is at 25% its original price I am starting to consider it to buy it, but I haven't read a single praise to the game other than good unit design.I'll be honest and say I don't care about the single player campaigns at all. How is it unplayable? Every civ is very unique in terms of gameplay styles, aesthetics, and audio, and mechanics. The biggest tournament so far producing some of the best matches so far is ongoing. Multiplayer is very harshly criticized as well, and even today most players say its unplayable.What exactly is being criticized? Even today? Balance is the best its ever been with near 50% win rate for all civs within a +/-4% deviation. Keys are 99% customizable now with the exception of the grid and cards existing. As long as you're not running it on a potato it runs well. You might notice a bug if you're at the top level, but probably not. Not only are they wrong, but they've been wrong for awhile now.

Play AoE4 for x days for free and you will know if you like it or not. But I have no doubt that AoE4 will be hammered out to the extent it can be hammered out, and more content will be released (whether through DLC or/and the modding community).Īs someone said in a above post. By 2022, AoE2-xx is more polished and has more content than AoE4 currently has, there's no hiding from that. Original AoE2 released in 1999 followed up with several spinoffs. AoE2 didn't come out with the extra content it has now and do not get the illusion that AoE2 is a bug free game, it isn't. It's a more complete game than AoE4 is at the moment. But I can't really compare these games to the AoE series other than that all 3 games are viewed from a bird's eye view.ĪoE2 isn't a bad game either. Personaly, i did just swish it trough for the achievement sake. I see the AoE4 campaign as a primer to get into the game for the multiplayer modes. The Dawn of War series 1-2 I liked for its gameplay and still haven't played 3.ĭo you think at least the single player campaign in aoe4 is worth it? I loved warcraft 3 and SC2 for its stories and gameplay, I still play aoe2 because multiplayer is amazing. Does it even have a good story/voice acting at the very least? Since game is at 25% its original price I am starting to consider it to buy it, but I haven't read a single praise to the game other than good unit design.
